Main Passage: Selections from Exodus 12
DISCUSSION & REFLECTION QUESTIONS:
Why do you think some people ignore, disbelieve, and disobey God (like Pharaoh did) even in the face of clear evidence of God’s power and presence?
In the Bible, God’s people are often encouraged to remember how God rescued them from slavery. Why do you think it’s important to remember what God has done for us? How do you remember the ways God rescued you from slavery to sin?
Jesus is often called the lamb of God. How does this story help you understand this title?
The Israelites celebrated Passover regularly to remember how God rescued them. What religious-church celebrations do you observe? How do they shape your life of faith?
The story of the Exodus (God rescuing his people from slavery) is often mentioned in the Bible and is central to the entire Biblical story. Why do you think it matters so much?

SHOW NOTES
Main Passage: Genesis 37
DISCUSSION & REFLECTION QUESTIONS:
If this story is familiar to you, how have you heard it told before?
The brothers’ treatment of Joseph was hate-filled and sinful — yet God used it for his purposes. That doesn’t make their actions OK, but it does show God’s redemptive power. How has God worked through difficult situations in your own life?
What are ways you battle against sinful thoughts so they don’t progress to sinful actions?
What are some ways that people try to justify their sinful actions?

Main Passage: Genesis 28:10-16
Side Passages: John 1:35-51
DISCUSSION & REFLECTION QUESTIONS:
Imagine first learning about the one true God, Yahweh, before there were any written Scriptures, before there were any formal gatherings or teachings about him, in a time and place that believed in multiple gods. What do you think that would have been like?
Think of a time when your understanding of God has grown and you’ve been surprised (like Jacob was when he realized God was with him, away from his father’s home). What happened? What did you learn about God? (It could be something you heard from a teacher, learned from a book, or discovered while reading the Bible.)
What do you think Jesus meant when he called himself the stairway between heaven and earth?
What comes to mind when you hear the word “heaven”? Where did those ideas come from?
What do you learn about God from this story? How does that impact how you will seek and follow him?

Main Passage: Genesis 15:1-12, 17-18
Side Passages: Romans 4
DISCUSSION & REFLECTION QUESTIONS:
Some stories in the Old Testament (like this one) seem very strange because they happened in a very ancient world that had different traditions, practices, and cultures. How can you beware of not forcing ancient stories into the current world and culture?
What parts of this story feel strangest to you? How do you deal with that while still trusting the God who never changes?
Have you ever told God your deepest doubts and concerns? How did you do that? How did you sense him responding to you?
Why do you think God himself passed between the split carcasses when, according to ancient treaty tradition, Abram should have been the one to do that?
What do you learn about God from this story? How does that impact how you will seek and follow him?

Main Passage: Genesis 12:1-8
Side Passages: Hebrews 11:1-10
DISCUSSION & REFLECTION QUESTIONS:
Have you ever sensed God telling you to do something without knowing all the details and the larger picture? How did you respond? What happened?
Throughout Genesis 12-25, God forms Abram’s heart and character through different experiences and events. His long travels in Genesis 12:1-8, from Ur over to Haran and then down toward the Negev, probably formed him in many ways (along with the many subsequent events in his life). How have your life circumstances and events formed you into the person you are today? How do you see God working in that?
What do you learn about God from this story? How does impact how you will seek and follow him?

Main Passage: From Genesis 6:1-9:17
Side Passages: Hebrews 11:7
DISCUSSION & REFLECTION QUESTIONS:
How have you heard this story told and explained before? Does that sync up with the story as you now understand it?
Why do you think people sometimes view God’s justice from a negative point of view?
How do you make sense of God’s complete justice and gracious mercy working together?
The Bible consistently says that no human (except Jesus, who is also God) is totally blameless or perfect, even Noah. Why do you think God chose to save him and his family?
What do you learn about God from this story? How does impact how you will seek and follow him?
